The Android emulator writes informational netsimd startup messages to stderr. EmulatorRunner classified every stderr line as a warning, so a successful dotnet test could report dozens of warnings. Log stderr at verbose level instead. Actual emulator launch and boot failures continue to be reported by the boot result handling.
